Make Mine Mink – 1960 | 99 mins | Comedy | B&W

Plot Synopsis

Hilarious farce based on the successful stage play Breath of Spring by Peter Coke. The screwball comedy involves a disparate group of lodgers in a Kensington boarding house owned by eccentric dowager Dame Beatrice (Athene Seyler) who turn into modern day Robin Hoods.

Reformed convict turned maid, Lily (Billie Whitelaw), wishes to do something nice for her kind-hearted employer Dame Beatrice, and with the help of a fishing rod manages to hook a mink hastily thrown onto a balcony by their next-door neighbour Mr. Spanager (Sidney Tafler). The residents realise the mink is stolen and endeavour to replace it without Lilyís knowledge. Retired resident Major Rayne (Terry-Thomas) is under the impression he is in charge of the proceedings, but his military precision is at times disastrous. Along with disgruntled etiquette teacher Nanette (Hattie Jacques) and Pinkie (Elspeth Duxbury), the genteel partners-in-crime have their pilfering appetite whet and soon launch into a series of fur-stealing raids on shops and homes to raise money for a children’s home. Classed as genuine crooks by the police; in a moment of unique irony itís ex-con Lily that is first to realise their criminal deeds.
